I use irexec to do this. Here's the relevant section from my .lircrc
# Power Off/Exit
begin
prog = irexec
button = POWER
repeat = 4
config = /home/pete/.fluxbox/startmyth.pl
end
and here is my script to start myth...
#!/usr/bin/perl
$pid=`pgrep mythfrontend`;
if ($pid) {
print "mythfrontend running, $pid\n";
}
else {
print "starting mythfrontend\n";
system("mythfrontend &");
}
The script just keeps you from accidentally firing off a 2nd
mythfrontend when one is already running. All you need after that is
to make sure irexec is running. I have a script that runs on login to
fluxbox to fire off irexec, once again just making sure I don't end up
with two copies running:
#!/bin/bash
killall irexec
irexec &
Hope this helps...
